Auburn Recruiting Corner: Top RB prospect Michael Dyer still has eye on Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. -- The top three running back prospects in the country are all still considering Auburn, and the Tigers appear to be closing in on a commitment from one of the star runners.

Michael Dyer of Little Rock, Ark., was an unofficial visitor in Fayetteville for the Razorbacks' win over Auburn last weekend, but the Arkansas win apparently did nothing to discourage Dyer from continuing to name the Tigers his clear leader. In fact, Dyer has taken to using the word "we" when referring to Auburn.

Dyer (5-8, 200) has a long relationship with Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, a former Arkansas high school coach. He is the No. 1 prospect in Arkansas.

Auburn is still in the mix for backs Lache Seastrunk of Temple, Texas, and Marcus Lattimore of Duncan, S.C., but Dyer appears to be the most likely blue-chip addition to the Tigers' backfield.
